TUSCAN ROSÉ

We are excited to introduce a new and exclusive wine – Italian Tuscan Rosé.

The Wine:

To the eye, you will find the colour is an intense cherry pink. This is achieved by allowing the juice from the Sangiovese grapes to remain on the skins for only hours, unlike creating a red wine where the juice is left on the skins for days. On the nose, the aroma is a gentle expression of red grapes. Gentle and fresh with cherry, raspberry and strawberry notes. Crisp with a light to medium body that is not as full as a red wine however superior to most white wines. The taste is slightly sweet and reflects flavours of the same fruit found on the nose, together with crispness, structure and good balance. The finish is extremely pleasing and fresh. Rosé wines offer their best qualities during their youth so it is recommended not to age for long periods of time before enjoying.

Tasting comments:

“The white was again very young and green but the potential was there, we generally like our wines dry and this did not disappoint, dry with a nice acidity. When aged for 3 or 4 months this will be a very drinkable white wine. I would suggest chilled with a nice piece of salmon or chicken. Unfortunately there were no samples of the red available but we were given some commercial equivalents so off we went to the new liquor store and found one of them. I have been a fan of Pinotage for many years, having tasted it first some 26 years back on a trip to South Africa. I will be doing 1 or 2 of these for us and will not be drinking them until this time next year.”

Background

Since the introduction of Wine Cellar (*formerly known as Project Wine Cellar) offerings back in 1971, the wine world has changed tremendously in both quality and range of varietal grape offerings. One of the new trends has been a slow but ever-increasing interest in organic food products, including wine. **At this time, we cannot offer a 100% organic wine in that the use of approved clearing agents and preservatives in our kits that guarantee a perfect result makes the finished wine non-organic. If these approved clearing agents and preservatives are not used according to our instructions, the resulting wine will quickly oxidize and spoil, rendering the wine undrinkable in a short period of time. We believe that the ingredients and the process we use to make our kits offer the winemaker and wine-drinker the best outcome to ensure a consistent and first-class wine.
